Well, I have traded my Palm Treo 650 for a Cingular 8125. With a trade like this, there are always advantages and disadvantages.

Things I miss…

Keyboard available all the time

Better memory management

Full one-handed operation

Quicker device response

Faster processor

Pocket Tunes Deluxe

Camera

Stylus

Things I like…

Keyboard

Multi-tasking

Web browsing

Email

Stereo speakers

Speakerphone

WiFi

Camera

Physical screen size is larger

Standard USB connection

ActiveSync

The Cingular 8125 is not a perfect device, but it fits my needs better than the Treo 650 at this point. I wish Microsoft would figure out a way to bring true one-hand navigation to Windows Mobile 5. In addition, I wish Cingular had decided on a faster processor. These are the biggest issues for me. Otherwise, I am very happy with the 8125.
